Building Plan for the 2011 - 2012 School Year
The Bernabi Building Planning Team, is a shared decision-making team, which consists of faculty, staff and parent representation and is responsible for implementing the objectives of the Strategic Plan outlined by the Board of Education. Their responsibilities include, studying relevant data to develop plans to promote student achievement and the achievement of the three Strategic Objectives. Building plans address educational issues and discuss ways to improve student achievement. We also discuss character education and enrichment experiences and opportunities. Each year the Building Planning Team creates a plan which all members of Bernabi agree upon. We meet once a month to monitor and discuss the implementations of the plan. Throughout the year, the Building Planning Team reviews the activities of the current year's plan to determine if the objectives were met and then begins to set goals for the following school year.
This year Bernabi’s three goals are:
1. Bernabi will create ways/times to foster the social/emotional needs of all students to ensure a sense of belonging. Bernabi will provide the students opportunites to contribute their time and efforts to the community.
2. Bernabi will incorporate a combination of instructional technology, enrichment and differentiation to foster each student’s personal interests and to meet their learning needs.
3. The Bernabi BPT will implement the District's data plan in support of our efforts to achieve the District's student achievement targets.
Should you ever have any questions, as a parent, about our building plan please contact the school or Beth Burr the parent representative on the team.
TAS (Targeted Academic Support) 2:50 - 3:20
Targeted Academic Support is an instructional approach designed to increase the academic achievement of each of our students in the areas of literacy and numeracy. Within this dedicated block of instructional time, our teaching team will work collaboratively to reteach, remediate and enrich students based upon individual and/or group readiness or academic needs.
Analysis of data derived from the examination of student work and the results of assessments currently being implemented will inform the instruction of our students during this instructional time. Students will be placed in flexible learning groups to address specific skills based upon identified areas of need. This is an instructional approach which integrates systematic progress monitoring to re-evaluate needs and to potentially regroup students.
The learning experiences and interventions that are provided to our students will be based upon best practice; be researched based; and must be relevant, respectful and meaningful for the education of each of our students.
•Students will be grouped by need within their grade level in the most appropriate settings;
•Students may move from room to room;
•Students may be with a new teacher, other than their classroom teacher; and
•Focus of targeted groups will be ELA and/or Math.
Instructional use of Data
The Spencerport Elementary Schools are committed to the use of data to drive and improve teaching and learning. Our students and staff members will embrace the district’s data philosophy and practices and subsequently use the Spencerport curriculum to embed a variety of instructional strategies to meet the needs of each of our students. Building level leaders will provide students with frequent opportunities to experience a variety of formative and summative assessments which will be used to formulate learning goals. Staff will plan learning experiences that respond to data and assist each student in meeting his/her potential as a learner.
